Paul was a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Infantry and served in the South Pacific during World War II. While recovering from malaria at Baxter General Hospital, he met, and later married, Betty Keane, February 12, 1944, in Spokane. Paul mentioned many times that Betty was the best thing that ever happened to him, giving him 52 years of happy marriage.
Paul owned and operated Diamond Signs for approximately 34 years, retiring in 1984.
All Saints Episcopal Church and his family were first and foremost in his life. He served on the Vestry, and was chairman of House and Grounds, giving special attention to the rose garden. Paul was awarded the Bishop's Deaconal Cross for his silent and faithful service to the Church.
He was active in Scouts and Indian Guides for both his children and grandchildren. He shared his love of nature with his family through hunting, fishing and camping.
Paul is remembered by many as a kind and helping neighbor. "I will pass this way but once. If there be any good thing I can do, let me do it now, for I will not pass this way again."
Died at age 73 years, 3 months, 13 days.
Paul's survivors include his wife, Betty, of Boise; son, Glenn Baker, of Hillsboro, Ore.; daughters, Paula Egbert of Boise, and Nancy Needham of Bend, Ore.; sisters, Bernice, Ruth and Sarah; and brother, Carroll "Red" Baker.
